GLSID DAT 2027 Exam Phases

The GLS Design Aptitude Test is held in two phases every year. Phase 1 is conducted in January and Phase 2 is held in April. Candidates can appear in either phase for the 2027-28 session.

The Phase 1 exam dates will be announced on the admission portal soon. Phase 2 registration will open after the first phase concludes. Students may attempt both phases to improve their chances.

Who is Eligible to Apply?

For undergraduate design programmes, candidates must have cleared Class 10+2. The minimum aggregate requirement is 50 per cent from a recognised board. Students appearing for the Class 12 exam in 2027 can also apply.

Final selection is based on the DAT score and a personal interview. Candidates must clear both stages to secure admission at GLSID.
